Great point and shoot but limited GPSchrisms, Melbourne, 2/11/2011

Overall a great compact camera but the GPS takes forever to kick in and only works outside which is not a problem if it had an option to rember your co-ordinates as you walked indoors. It feels the GPS functionality was added to tick the features box as it does not appear useful.

Pros:
Easy to use, Compact, Build quality, Battery life, Screen size

Great little camera.Len, Knoxfield, 2/11/2011

This camera is the best compact I've had (Ive had three others) .
I have recently returned from a two month holiday to the UK and Eurdpe and I was delighted with my Sony Cybershot's features especially the Zoom, panorama and night shots. I was suprised how clear the night shots were.
I wish thecharge in the battery lasted longer. Thevpause at tje end of the video feature confused me a bit however I am getting used to that.

Pros:
Easy to use, Compact, Build quality, Screen size
Cons:
Battery life

Love it! Simple to use and the image quality is brilliant. Kay, Sydney, 31/10/2011

My husband bought the camera for my birthday which was a couple of days before our holiday. I didn't get a chance to play with the camera until I was sitting on the plane heading up to far north Queensland. We were picking up our hire car at the airport on arrival in Cairns when I first pulled out the camera and took a couple of photos. For the next few weeks I took many photos - walking through the Daintree, magnificant unspoilt country, crocodiles, butterflies, turtles, flowers. And I'm reminded of our lovely holiday every time I sit down at our dining table - I'm surrounded by these wonderful photos - clear, sharp images that look way too good for something that I could have taken!

Very Happy with my Camera Kazza, Sydney NSW, 31/10/2011

I love the camera - nice and light - not too heavy, easy to use and photos are of a very good quality. I like the fact that the image is clear even when taken from a moving vehicle.
The only negative comment I can make is that is very difficult to see the rear screen in bright sunshine - the only time I think a view finder would be useful.
